Ray,
Im very well pleased with it so far , it has been a lot of work to get it to this stage .I have the aluminium for the guard(to cover the drive gears and pulleys ,safety job) now and have started to roll the strip for the edges.
I cut some scrap ply to make a form to roll it around by hand , but it springs back a little , so I have knocked together a block of timber to hammer form the curves.If I had access to some sheetmetal rollers it would make life alot easier.
Hopefully this weekend I will have the rolling finished and then get it tig welded up during the week.

Kev.

Just finished this for a neighbour...It is a two stage telescoping shaft off a hay rake...The uni joints were still OK but the shafts were totally buggered...Made new ones out of some 50mm SHS (square hollow section) and some 35mm SHS and the 25mm solid bar.. It has turned out quite well..

RC, would you tell me, please, if that is brazing on the right universal of the linkage?

There is no brazing, just old yellow paint..It being a sperry new holland rake..

Thanks,.

Im making a small diving table and then a dividing arangement for my hercus using spare back gears for indexing

With the current rain making me shed bound (how sad ) I decided to make a fly cutter..

It started life as a piece of 4" round and the arbour is off my boring head.. It is threaded 1 1/2"X18 to attach it to the fly cutter..It also has a 5 degree clearance angle cut into it and uses 1/2" HSS for cutters..

Rain? What rain? Wish we could get some.

Cutter looks nice. Just needs to be blued now and it will look like a bought one.

My current project is a custom, intergrated air con for a car that was never designed to have one. Not really machining related. Have done a bit of sheet metal work and a bit of fibreglassing on it.

regards

That's one mean bit of steel, keep your fingers out of the way, it would take a bit of stopping! Well done.

i am working on two project the first is finish building my articulated tractor and front loader built from old ride on mower and car parts and the second is start restoring my articulated tug tractor

I have started making a Coolant Pump set up. That I can use on My Lathe, Drill Press and New Mill Drill. I am using a 15 lt Plastic Container (GO-LO) for the Coolant Reservoir. I will only be half filling it. For the Pump I have a Pump out of a small Kero Parts Washer. I just folded the Lid up after Work Tonight, so I still have a bit to do.
